Otolaryngology

Patients are seen by our doctors, audiologists, and other providers in the Department of Otolaryngology at several locations in the St. Louis area, including the Center for Advance Medicine, the Central Institute for the Deaf, St. Louis Children's Hospital, and our West County offices.

We treat patients for general ear, nose and throat conditions, allergy and chronic sinusitis, hearing tests and hearing aids, implantable hearing aids, reconstruction surgery of the head and neck, Mohs cancer reconstruction, head and neck cancer, and we offer a full range of face and neck cosmetic surgeries.
